    I have used OPT and its the best stuff *I* have used. I think I`m gonna order a gallon but I want some more info on how it stacks up to griot`s.

    I read tom p`s review on the stuff but I`m wondering if anyone else has compared them head to head and what they thought.

    I`m still working through my gallons of Griot`s, but I`d take Tom P`s word for it and save some money sticking with the Optimum.

    From everything I have read on here, it seems like Griot`s and Optimums seem to be the best traditional washes with Duragloss, Zaino Z-7 and Poorboy`s Super Slick and Suds being right on their heels in terms of quality.



    I have used Duragloss and Poorboys and both are excellent. However, once my Poorboys is used up, I will probably go 100% rinseless wash (versus traditional wash) using ONR or a similar product.

    What is Optimum FTW? Is that just their carwash?

    Very true. Even though 99.5% of the time I use ONR, when I do use a conventional wash soap, those two are my favorites.

    I really like Optimum`s traditional non-ONR soap. It`s excellent. Griot`s is no push over, but I`d pick the Optimum over it.

    Optimum seems leave a less desirable finish after drying in my experience with a 32oz bottle
